Please come CAPTON CNN's hard-hitting interview with Jeb (Better fed than bred!) Bush!!




CNN's Dana ("It makes me hot to see how fair I'm being.&quot Bash is saying "Well to be honest, wouldn't you say Governor that what your detractors now call slut shaming was really a program to empower women, having single mothers publish letters in the newspapers before putting their children up for adoption since it's an effort to bring fathers back into their lives, allowing the mothers to have child-support or a healthy family environment, taking pressure off of social services and allowing women to experience independent and significant lives. . . . Isn't that true, Governor? . . . What could be wrong about that? . . . Okay, next question: How do you like your oatmeal? . . . "

It's all about responsibility. Some could look at, say, a very recent history and think that the stigma of complete and abject failure in every single aspect of leadership has been lost. That parents of an individual could actually still support such irresistible conduct. That communities or parties involved could not only not frown on such idiotic and disastrous behavior but become ineffective at attaching some sense of ridicule to this behavior.

Dana: I thought we weren't supposed to talk about your brother.

Noticed the same thing.

You see Dana their have been candidates and presidents who have presented themselves as Cowboys, hard hat guys, maybe even worn Indian headdresses (Dana's thinking, "Wow a Village People reference. He is just so with it. ) but myself I like to project more of a corporate board room to yacht club kind of look. One minute I could be in a tie at a Board meeting maybe creating jobs maybe keeping costs under control and BAM the next minute the tie is off and I'm kicking back at the yacht club. You know, like everybody else does. I think that reasonates with people.
